Marquita Burch, 26, was indicted on charges of endangering children, murder, involuntary manslaughter, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. She was previously charged with tampering and abuse.

Prosecutor Joe Deters said in a news release that Burch was friends with William Cunningham's mother and had been babysitting for him for several weeks in her home.

Deters said William was injured on May 22 and died the next day, then Burch put the child in a garbage bag and took the corpse to her cousin's house on Friday, May 25.

On May 25, Burch reported the child missing to the police in Covington, who started a massive search for the supposedly missing baby.

On May 26, Cincinnati police recovered the William's body in the cousin's home.

The Hamilton County Coroner ruled the death a homicide as the result of a subdural hematoma.

"This child did not have to die. It is bad enough that Burch injured the child, but horrible to think of the child's suffering - its clear the child might have survived if the defendant had sought prompt medical treatment," Deters said.
